Start
A man can be moved from home to the starting-point either with an ace, a king or a joker (see p.1: Illustration). This point is the start and the end of the course , andwhere the men can enter the target area. When a man is moved from home to thestarting-point, he is protected, i.e. it can neither be exchanged (see p.3: JACK ),returned home or passed (passage blocked, for own men, too).
Returning home
If a man arrives at a position occupied by another, the latter must return home. Thisalso applies to own men.
If one or more men are passed at the same time by another man moved by a 7 or afraction thereof, these ones must return home.
A man on a foreign starting-point must return home, if another player’s man is set tostart.
Men on the own starting-point and in the target area cannot be returned home.
Passing
...is always permitted, except in target area or if a man is on its own starting-point.
Compelled to move
The players are compelled to move their men the complete number of stepsdeterminated by the card value, particularly to place the last man in the target area.If the card’s value exceeds the number of necessary steps, another lap of the coursemust be started to retry the entry.
As a possible consequence additional laps must be turned.
Exception: If the last man of a player e.g. needs 5 point to finish, but thecorresponding card is lacking, he can use a 7 (if at hand) and apply the remaining 2points for one of his partner’s men.
Target area
In order to enter the target area the starting-point must be hit twice and thedirection must be anticlockwise. E.g. a man positioned 2 steps after the starting-point can be moved 4 steps backward, but not straight into the target area. Theentry might follow with the next card. Within the target area passing men isprohibited.
